incompatible apps on Mac

How can I upgrade my Mac ? I have a High Sierra 10.13 and they are asking to upgrade to v10.15. Where can I find the leads to do that ? I guess that ultimately I will have to upgrade to Catalina ... How can I do that ? Would appreciate any tips, guys. Am stuck.

Don't use FireFox for these links…

If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications.


Trash the Install MacsOS *******.app in Applications then a new copy more recent version can be downloaded.
